Ezekiel 7:10-19

10Here is the day! Here it comes! Doom is on its way. The rod has blossomed; arrogance has bloomed.

11Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain: none of that crowd, none of their wealth, and none of the eminent among them.

12The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is on her whole crowd.

13The seller will certainly not return to what was sold as long as he and the buyer remain alive. For the vision concerning her whole crowd will not be revoked, and because of the iniquity of each one, none will preserve his life.

14They have blown the trumpet and prepared everything, but no one goes to war, for my wrath is on her whole crowd.

15The sword is on the outside; plague and famine are on the inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword, and famine and plague will devour whoever is in the city.

16The survivors among them will escape and live on the mountains. Like doves of the valley, all of them will moan, each over his own iniquity.

17All their hands will become weak, and all their knees will run with urine.

18They will put on sackcloth, and horror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be bald.

19They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem like something filthy. Their silver and gold will be unable to save them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs, for these were the stumbling blocks that brought about their iniquity.
